Not everyone who wants to read a textbook is a member of an academic institution. A good introductory text to a field you're not familiar with is usually better reading than whatever happens to be on top of the NYT best seller list.
As long as you can make about 75K from someone else you can do quite well for yourself.
Meanwhile, median household income in the US is around $50K. Over half the people in this country cannot do well for themselves. This is despite the fact that US workers have the highest productivity of any country besides Norway.
Managing your money and working hard is important. But when the country you live in just doesn't give you a fair deal, it's not enough.
The finding also challenges the idea that evolution only happens in a population rather than at an individual level. As one tree contains many different genomes, natural selection and evolution could happen within a single organism."
Nobody ever thought that. Evolution happens with any sort of imperfect replicator subjected to selection. Period. A good example of this happening within our own bodies would be cancer.
How much time was cut short? When was the petition supposed to end? IIRC it was ending very soon anyway.
If they didn't want to answer, they'd just say "this matter pertains to pending litigation, so we cannot comment" as they have done before. Why would they cut the answer period short?
Rtorrent can be controlled by XMLRPC, so people have written web front ends to it. So if you like a clicky GUI, you can use your browser. RUTorrent is probably the best one going.
This is particularly true in psychiatric medicine, where past therapists are required to pass on notes to future therapists, but patients don't necessarily have the right to read the notes themselves.
I wish they'd do nothing at all. Between losing network transparency, client side (inevitably inconsistent) window decorations, and compile time window manager selection, this is going to be a fucking disaster.
anything that slows down those triangles, like networking must go overboard.
Where's the data that suggests that networking is a problem? From what I'm aware an efficient API will be trivially networkable. Since X uses shared memory locally, it's about as fast as anything is going to be.
There might be a case that X is shitty and hard to work with, but we shouldn't be throwing the baby out with the bathwater. We can have both speed and network transparency. Didn't Valve just port Source to X and get better FPS than on Windows? What exactly is the problem here?
What overhead? Show me the data that suggests that network transparency is what slows down X, and not the bloated toolkits people use (and will still use on Wayland). When X is used locally, it's as fast as anything else.
isn't a large part of Linux about the user being able to choose how their machine does the work that they ask it to do?
Yes, and I'd like to choose to be able to forward any arbitrary GUI app over the network. Nobody's forcing you to forward anything over the network, and the capability doesn't cost you anything. That is choice.
Forcing someone to load another GUI layer in order to network a set of deprecated legacy apps while new apps are completely un-networkable isn't choice at all. It's shit.
We're not talking about transitioning from legacy applications. We're talking about a permanent universal solution for network transparent apps. X has it. What is Wayland's alternative?
Alas, the Double Jeopardy Clause, which sure seems like it would apply here, does not because the conviction was overturned on appeal rather than acquitted by the trial court.
I don't see that exception in the Constitution anywhere.

Isn't the 160 character limit a limitation of the SMS protocol, and not Twitter?
They don't need to take you to court. They can just detain you indefinitely.
Only if done as punishment. According to Scalia, as long as it's not punishment, torture is constitutional.

Because they have nothing to hide.

So it's just like every other social network?
Yes, but Yahoo is not going to improve , unless something extraordinary happens Yahoo will die.
Marissa Mayer seems pretty extraordinary.

I know. Why can't we ever get people to flip the fuck out over the right shit? There's plenty of smart shit to flip the fuck out over.
Oh, the EPIC post is dated August 9th. So still, the question is, when was the petition expected to expire?
Apparently the petition expired on Thursday, August 9th. If it was just taken down at 11:30 AM today, what is the problem?

I don't see how that would help a paranoiac.

X, for historical reasons, does a TON of things. It has network transparency
That's not there for historical reasons. That's there because it's extremely useful.
Any pro photographer will tell you that 95% of what you shoot is crap. Prune it mercilessly.
Greedy, unprincipled fucks like you are what's wrong with the world. I hope you too die in the aforementioned fiery explosion.
